Here’s an interesting interview with a working artist, meaning an artist who makes a living from painting. He’s humble about his work, quiet about his disability (he lost most of one arm in a plane accident), and he hasn’t been tempted to add too many zeros to the price of his paintings. Most works can bought from his website for a few hundred dollars, which means almost anyone can afford to buy a painting.

He seems to be a prolific painting machine with tens of paintings added to his site each month, so there’s always something new to look at. And his new work is posted on the Internet within minutes of its completion, and often sold within minutes, as he explains in the following interview:

See more paintings by Matt Sesow at his website here. One thing that I love about his website is that he isn’t afraid to use good size images of his paintings online. I have been visiting his website for at least five years because he doesn’t try to frustrate the viewer with minuscule image sizes covered with ridiculous copyright notices.
